About
Mezo is a Bitcoin-centric decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that enables Bitcoin holders to engage in financial activities such as borrowing, lending, and earning yields without relinquishing their BTC holdings. By integrating with tBTC—a decentralized Bitcoin bridge—Mezo transforms Bitcoin from a passive store of value into an active, yield-generating asset within the DeFi ecosystem.
